After Lou Xi agreed to Xi Siwei’s conditions, he didn’t let Lou Xi return to the hotel.

His intentions were clear, he wanted Lou Xi, and after she agreed, he was unwilling to let her out of his sight.

Lou Xi nervously clutched the seatbelt. She had been asked by Xi Siwei to sit in the front passenger seat, which he said was specially reserved for her.

"Lou Xi, rest assured, after a while, I will definitely give you a title. I won’t marry Shen Ruozhuo. The person I love isn’t her; being with her was just a temporary measure." Xi Siwei explained his relationship with Shen Ruozhuo to Lou Xi.

Lou Xi listened indifferently. She didn’t care about the relationship between Xi Siwei and Shen Ruozhuo. If they wanted to be together, they could be together, or separate if they wanted.

"When will you give me the original of this document?" What Lou Xi cared about was when Xi Siwei would destroy this thing...

"I’m not going to give it to you."

"Why? You’re going back on your word!" Lou Xi was instantly agitated. Did this man have no limits?

Xi Siwei, however, was very calm and said, "If I destroy it, you’ll leave me without hesitation. Am I stupid? Don’t worry, as long as you stay by my side, I won’t hand these things over. In everyone’s eyes, Qin Mobai will still be that upright business elite."

Lou Xi glared at Xi Siwei, realizing this man did indeed have a backup plan.

She thought she could bide her time and wait for him to relax, take the evidence and leave, sparing Qin Mobai from being involved.

But...

Seeing Lou Xi was unhappy, Xi Siwei reached out and held Lou Xi’s small hand.

Lou Xi instinctively wanted to pull away; she disliked being touched by any man other than Qin Mobai.

Feeling Lou Xi’s resistance, Xi Siwei’s brows slightly furrowed, as if on the verge of an outburst.

"Lou Xi, don’t make me unhappy." The man lightly threatened.

"If you need an obedient woman, then you’ve found the wrong person." Lou Xi said, pulling her hand away from Xi Siwei’s, "Even if I want to be with you, it requires a process. I can’t just forget Mo Bai and fall in love with you immediately. If you want us to last, don’t push me. Otherwise, we might as well just part ways!"

Lou Xi left those words hanging there, like a heavy blow to Xi Siwei.

But at the same time, it gave Xi Siwei hope. He wanted to be with Lou Xi for a long time.

Xi Siwei withdrew his hand and placed both hands on the steering wheel as he drove.

"Alright, we’ll take it slow. I will make you fall in love with me."

...

Xi Siwei took Lou Xi to his villa on the outskirts of the Capital, surprising her that this man owned property here too.

Lou Xi felt a bit nervous, especially after the villa’s door closed, giving her the sensation of willingly walking into a trap.

She sensed Xi Siwei slowly approaching, pinning her against the foyer cabinet, his heavy breath echoing in Lou Xi’s ear.

"So, I made her repay you with a child."

Lou Xi’s eyes widened in a flash, "You..."

So it wasn’t that Shen Ruozhuo didn’t want to get rid of that child; it was Xi Siwei who forced her?

"I’ve said it before, I love you and won’t allow you to suffer any grievances. If anyone touches you even slightly, I will make her pay back doubly."

Even if the child Shen Ruozhuo was carrying was his, Xi Siwei’s, he could still do without it.
